 4.2.4 Reduce barriers to better enable cyber professionals to transition between private and public service. The FCWWG will facilitate the sharing of best practices among departments and agencies for former government employees returning to federal service, as they take advantage of new OPM guidance that facilitates this transition. The FCWWG will also explore opportunities to attract individuals with private sector experience to public service. As an example, in the midst of technology sector layoffs, OPM partnered with over 50 agencies to hold a “Tech to Gov” event in early 2023 that drew over 1,800 potential job seekers. Beyond the immediate hires, events like this build relationships with possible job candidates and institutions and publicize opportunities available in federal service. Departments and agencies will, where possible, review security clearance requirements for cyber positions to ensure that job announcements do not overstate vetting requirements. They are encouraged to remain abreast of reforms under consideration in the Trusted Workforce 2.0 initiative so that they benefit from its work and act in compliance with federal policy. 4.2.5 Improve awareness of job opportunities. The FCWWG will coordinate efforts by departments and agencies to support OPM’s CyberCareers.gov as a central hub for federal cyber career resources and for recruitment. As a supplement to USAJOBS, CyberCareers.gov serves as a useful employment hub with resources for job seekers, hiring managers, federal employees, students, and educational institutions. It is critical that employment opportunities advertised on USAJOBS include meaningful job titles, and allow departments and agencies to track metrics for specific opportunities. The FCWWG will support agency use of descriptive job titles and seek to phase out generic position titles—such as IT Specialist—for recruitment purposes. It will provide assistance on using the NICE Framework with the ultimate goal of including NICE work roles in all relevant federal cyber positions.125 As usage increases, OPM will deploy a work role filter on USAJOBS that enables job seekers to more readily identify positions of interest. The FCWWG will coordinate department and agency involvement in a recruiting campaign for the federal cyber workforce that presents public service as an attractive career path offering unique opportunities to acquire skills and advance an important public mission. The campaign will target all Americans, and include outreach to underserved and underrepresented communities and individuals with disabilities. It will include partnerships with state and local workforce boards, colleges and universities, and organizations focused on strengthening the talent pipeline by increasing the diversity of trainees and federal cyber professionals. The campaign will also feature interviews with civil servants who will provide stories from their federal cyber service. NATIONAL CYBER WORKFORCE AND EDUCATION STRATEGY 38
